1881 Event Planning and Design

1881 Event Planning & Design 
is a 
social
 event
 planning
 company
 based
 in
 Atlanta,
Georgia.


This 
company
 was 
started 
by 
three
 phenomenal
 women
 who
 bring
 over
 15
 years
 of
 event
 planning
 expertise
 to
 their clients.
 As
 graduates
 of
 Spelman
 College,
the
 ladies
of
1881
wanted
 to 
pay
 tribute
to
 the
 institution,
 which
 brought
 them
 together.
The
 name 
of 
the
 company 
lovingly
 reflects
 the
 founding
 year
 of
 their
 beloved
 alma
mater.


For
 Pamela,
 Ericka,
 and
 Renata
 nothing
 is more
 important
 than
 flawless
 execution
 of
 their
 client’s
 vision.
 Finding
 an
 event
 planner
 to
 truly
 do
 it
 all
 is
 a
 challenge
 but
 1881
 Events
 solves
 this
 problem
 by
 equipping
 each
 client
 with
 a
 team
 that
 will
 handle
 all
 of
 the
 details,
 customize
 the
 event
 with
 unique
 graphic
 designs,
 and
 evoke
 an
 experience
 guests
 will
 never
 forget.
 
 Although
 their
 planning
 experience
 has
 crossed
 the
 gamut,
the
primary
focus
of
1881 Event Planning & Design
is
on
small
social
events
of
75
guests
or
less.
Each
of
 these
ladies
has
unique
strengths
which—when
 combine—makes
them
a
dream
team
of
event
planners. Pamela
Franklin
Stegall
is
a
native
of
Atlanta.
She
holds
a
Bachelors
degree
in
Theatre
from
Spelman
College
and
has
 extensive
 experience
 in
 backstage
 management.
 She
 is
 often
 asked
 to
 manage
 the
 backstage
 events
 for
 high
profile
theater
productions
and
was
most
recently
asked
to
assist
with
the
tribute
to
the
unveiling
of
the 
Martin 
Luther
 King, 
Jr.
national
 monument,
entitled
“A
Monumental
Life,”
at
 Constitution
 Hall
in
 Washington
D.C.

In 
April
 2010,
 she
 added
 filmmaker
 to
 her
 list
 of
 accomplishments
 in
 her
 production
 of
 the
 documentary
 Fly, Sista, Fly,
which 
chronicled 
the 
lives
of 
three 
Pauline
E.
Drake
Scholars—“seasoned 
women”
who 
chos e
to 
attend
 Spelman
 College.
 
Pamela
 believes
 that
 all
 events
 are
 just
 productions
 in
 disguise.
 
 She
 designs
 events
 the
 same
 way
 a
 Broadway 
producer
approaches
a
theatrical
production—making
sure
that
the
stars
shine
and
the
guests
are
glad
they
came!
